Join us on July 16th for a fascinating evening lecture on Sudbury and the Massachusetts Militia on the eve of Lexington and Concord!


In October 1774, the Massachusetts Provincial Congress ordered towns across the Colony to prepare for war with England. In response, the Colony entered a wartime phase that included creating minute companies, stockpiling arms, ammunition, and equipment, and establishing a defense network ready to mobilize if the redcoats marched from Boston into the countryside.


Join historian Alexander Cain as he discusses the Colony's response to the British threat of war and examines the Massachusetts militia and minuteman system, with an emphasis on Sudbury on the eve of Lexington and Concord.
